COOPERSTOWN, June 23.

On Saturday last, towards evening, information was received that the hon. Wm. Cooper was on his way to this place: immediately an escort left the village on horseback, to attend him to his home—

When his carriage had passed the bridge, he was welcomed by a double row of citizens, who testified their joy on his arrival by three cheers. Never was a character received with a more cordial welcome; all ranks of people united in manifesting their approbation of his conduct, thro' a long, an arduous and an important session. In the evening the judge very obligingly attended his fellow citizens, convened at Huntington's inn, and in a concise and comprehensive manner recited the most important events of the session. During his entrance into Cooperstown, 16 cannon were fired, and every appearance of pleasure and satisfaction was exhibited.
